INVESTMENT OR SEIZURE.

Enormous Wealth Discovered i'm INDIA
aud Borrowed by the Government.
The financial secretary of India has adj
v.sed the government of the discovery Of an
immense amount of treasure, estimated at
over S25, 900, ,0CO, which had been secreted in
the palace of Gwallor by the late Maharajah.
The treasure had been sunk in pits under the
vaults beneath the zenana, and the secret
was intrusted to few confidential servants.
The secretary was present when the treasure
was unearthed. After removing the earth te
depth of six feet the workmen uncovered
great fiagstones Beneath these stones were
several pits filed TO the brim with silver
chiefly freshly coined rupees. In each pit
was a plate recording the amount Of the
treasure and the names of the officials who
had assisted in secreting it. The Indian
government has taken the hoard as loan
from the young Maharajah. The native
papers protest against this action of the
government. They say that had the Maha-
rajah been an adult, instead of being under
regency controlled by the government he
would never have invested his whole wealth
in Indian securities. A question will be
raised in Parliament as to whether the Gin
vestmentn be not another name for seizure.

A dispatch from Montreal, Que, May Is,
says: Editor William O'Brien went to high
mass at St Patrick's church. There was an
immense congregation, and when he left the
church he was surrounded by crowds who
fairly took 8 breath away in their efforts
to embrace him, as well as to shake hands
with him. Then he took drive, lunched
with Mr.. Barry, and attended a national
league meeting in st. Patricks Hall, which
waI crowded by an aulience that cheered
the Irish agitator and the evicted tenant,
Mr.. Kilbride, when they entered. "God Save

THE NIGHT MIST.

AL the night long the gray embracing mist
Has held in tender arms the tired world;
The sleepy river its soft lips have kissed,
And over hills and meadows it has curled
Its white, cool finger it has gently placed
On weary stretches of deep, drifting sand
The noisy city and the far-off waste
Have felt the benediction of its hand.
The drowsy world rolls on toward the day:
The fresh, sweet wind of morning softly
blows;
The willing mist no longer now may stay;
With first expectancy of dawn it goesl

Summary Vengeance Administered by

A few days ago a body Of armed men
surrounded the calaboose. at Willis, Texas,
where two colored men, Andrew McGeehe
and ]. B. Walker, were confined on a charge
of probably fatally shooting young Gran
vile Powell while he was assisting some
young laites on passenger train. The mob
quickly overpowered the guard, broke down
the door and told Walkers wife, who was
present, 10 get out Then they opened fire
on McGeehe and Walker, who were chained
together. Five minutes after the first gun
was fired the mob had disappeared. At day
light McGeehe was found dead in the cell
with eight bullet holes in his body. Walker

IniquitOus Insects.

Queerer still than the caterpillars
which pretend to be leaves or flowers for
the sake of protection are those truly di-
abolical and perfdious Brazilian spiders,
which, as Mr.. Bates observed, are brill
iantly colored with crimson and purple,
but "double themselves up at the base of
leaf stalks, so as to resemble flower buds,
and thus deceive the insects upon which
they prey" There is something hideously
wicked and cruel in this lowest depth of
initiative infamy A flower bud is some
thing so innocent and childlike; and to
disguise oneself as such for purposes of
murder and rapine argues the final abyss
of arachnoid perfdy. An Indian mantis,
or preying insect, little less wicked,
though no less cruel, than the spiders,
deceives the flies which come to his arms
under the false pretense of being quiet
leaf, upon which they may light in safety
for rest and refreshment. Yet another
